How to Crack SBI Clerk Exam: Experts’ Advice

Hello,

You can apply for the SBI Clerk exam only if you're in the final year of your graduation. As per the eligibility criteria, candidates in their final year or semester can apply provisionally.

However, if selected, you must provide proof of passing your graduation exam on or before 31st December 2024.

So, you cannot apply for the exam in your 4th semester.

Hello Preeti,

The age limit for SBI Clerk and IBPS Clerk 2025 is usually 20 to 28 years , with age relaxation for reserved categories.

Since you were born on October 5, 1996 , you will be 29 years old in 2025. This means you will not be eligible for these exams under the general category. However, if you belong to a reserved category (like OBC, SC, ST, etc.), you may get age relaxation.

Hope it helps !

Yes, you should be allowed for the SBI Clerk exam as long as there are no spelling mistakes in your name. Minor variations in name order (surname first vs. name first) usually do not cause issues. However, to avoid any last-minute problems, carry additional identification proof (such as a PAN card or voter ID) and inform the exam authorities in advance if possible. It is also advisable to check the official guidelines or contact SBI’s helpline for confirmation. Arrive early to allow time for verification.

hi ,

The RBA (Resident of Backward Area) certificate in Jammu & Kashmir is a domicile-based reservation and is not the same as OBC (Other Backward Classes) reservation at the central level.

key points ;-

• RBA is a state-specific category in J&K and provides benefits under the J&K government’s reservation policies.
• OBC is a central category, and to claim OBC benefits in SBI Clerk (or any central government job), you need an OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate issued as per the Central OBC list.
• RBA is NOT recognized as OBC at the central level, so you cannot use an RBA certificate to claim an OBC reservation for the SBI Clerk exam.

Hello Saurav,

I can understand your concern. Entering your university name instead of college name is a minor oversight that happens during application fill-up. In SBI Clerk and SBI PO forms, this kind of discrepancy between the application form and certificate provided during document verification can lead to complications.

Recommended Actions:

• During DV, give a proper explanation that your college is affiliated with this university, and so you provided the university name.
• Collect documents that will prove the linkage between your college and university.
• Reach out to SBI Recruitment Authorities helpdesk and inform them about this situation.
• Please do a double-check next time while filling out any application form to prevent this kind of situation.

You usually need to put name of your college, or you can try middle way with "name of you college affiliated to University",

Hello,

No, there should not be a major issue if the name format matches your Aadhaar and the exam application guidelines. However you should take care of following things :

1. Consistency in Records: Ensure your Aadhaar name format matches all documents submitted for verification.
2. Exam Application Rules: If the SBI Clerk exam explicitly allows mixed case, your format should be fine.
3. Clarify at Helpdesk: Contact the exam authority to confirm if variations in capitalization affect document matching.
4. Avoid Discrepancy: Use the same format across future applications to avoid confusion.
5. Carry Supporting Documents: Bring original Aadhaar for identity verification during the exam.

Hope it helps !
